Applets and threads

[BeanBob]

Hello

I'm trying to create the Centipede game...

Could someone please explain to me about how to animate something round the screen, so it bounces off other objects in the way. Something to do with Threads?

Pointing me in the right directino of a VERY basic Thread tutorial would be fantastic.

Any help very much appreciated.

Bean

Hi Bean,

There is a wonderful book by David Flanagan called Java Examples in a Nutshell. It has an number of examples which are available at

and one of these is an applet clock. It is not exactly what you asked for but should enlighten you in the principals of threading.
